All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.

乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。

We were the only Japanese people there, but it wasn't a problem that we couldn't speak English. There was some music and drinks that we could pay for as we went, and looking at Waikiki from the sea was a different experience that made for a very satisfying time.

日本人は私達だけでしたが英語が話せなくとも問題無いです。多少の音楽と、都度払いのお酒があり、ワイキキを海から眺めるのは又違う体験でとても満足した時間を過ごせました。

We had a wonderful time sailing and enjoying the sunset and a few drinks.
Brian and Brodie (I think was their names) were great fun.
I would recommend this trip it was a great experience.

I chose this tour because I wanted to visit Kaneohe Bay again for a scattering ceremony, as I had previously done so at the sandbar area. However, although it was advertised as a Kaneohe Bay cruise, it was not at all near the sandbar I wanted to go to, and instead, it cruised in a completely different area far from the sandbar.

The cruise itself was good; the boat was large, and we were able to see many turtles, but I think the tour name should be changed.

カネオエ湾(サンドバーのあたり)で散骨ツアーをしたので、7回忌に再度散骨したカネオエ湾へ行きたいと思い今回のツアーを選びました。しかしカネオエ湾クルーズと書いてありましたが私が行きたかったサンドバーあたりのカネオエ湾ではなく全然サンドバーからは遠い場所をクルーズするツアーでした。
クアロアランチからわりとすぐの海をクルーズするツアーでした。


クルーズ自体は船も大きく亀もたくさんみれて良かったですがツアー名は変えたほうがいいと思いました。

It's been four years since my last visit to Hawaii. About 15 years ago, I also took a ride on a catamaran, and the view of Waikiki from the sea was just as wonderful as I remembered. A sea turtle even popped its head up, and I felt lucky.

I completely forgot that I get motion sickness and ended up feeling nauseous, but the staff were attentive and offered ice, checking on my condition multiple times. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had prepared some motion sickness medication.

4年ぶりのHawaii。15年くらい前にもカタマラン号に乗船したことがありますが、海から見るワイキキの景色は昔と同じで素晴らしかったです。ウミガメも顔を出してくれて、幸運をもらった気分でした。
乗り物に弱いことをすっかり忘れて、乗り物酔いしてしまいましたが、氷をサービスして下さってスタッフは体調に気遣いして何度も声をかけてくださいました。酔い止めを準備しておくともっと楽しめたと思います。

We purchased a plan just for the show with our family, and since we arrived a bit early, we were able to sit in the front row, which was great. The show lasted about two hours and included traditional hula dancing, performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, and fire dancing, making it a very fulfilling experience. Additionally, after the show, we were able to take photos with the performers and get their autographs, so it was a lot of fun right until the very end.

家族でショーだけのプランを購入しましたが、少し早めに着いたこともあり、前の方の席で観れたのでとてもよかったです。約2時間のショーで伝統的なフラダンスから、エルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショー、ファイヤーダンスもありとても充実したショーでした。また、終わった後に出演者と写真を撮ったりサインをもらうことができたので、最後の最後までとても楽しかったです。

Food was delicious, the views where beautiful. Ryan the waiter was great and the entertainment was great also . Just disappointed that we missed the sunset because dinner was served late.

Mr. McCartney, who was very friendly, entertained us greatly. Watching the stars through a high-performance telescope while receiving a lecture was more romantic and mysterious than I had imagined. I was very moved.

The rings of Saturn were clearly visible and looked so cute. The moon was so large that it couldn't fit in the telescope, and the craters were clearly visible, which was very surprising. I was amazed to see so many stars in the Milky Way that I didn't realize were there. I was able to see many stars that are not visible to the naked eye!

The next day, I was able to slowly enjoy the Hawaiian night sky with my child, recalling what I learned during the stargazing event.

I received photos of the stars captured through the telescope via email. It became a wonderful memory.

気さくなマッカートニーさんがとても楽しませてくれました。レクチャーをうけながら高性能望遠鏡で星を眺めるのは想像以上にロマンチックで神秘的。とても感動しました。

土星のリングもくっきり見えてとてもかわいいかったです。月も望遠鏡に収まりきらないほど大きくクレーターもはっきり映っていてとても驚きました。
ミルキーウェイもこんなにたくさん星が集まっているのかとびっくりしました。肉眼では見えない星たちもたくさん見ることができました！

翌日からは星空鑑賞会で教えてもらった事を思い出しながらハワイの夜空を子供とゆっくり楽しめました。

望遠鏡に写った星の写真をメールで送ってもらいました。とてもいい思い出になりました。

I was a little late, and my husband and I hurried to the Royal Hawaiian Center for the luau, arriving about 10 minutes past the start time. However, we made it just in time, and as soon as we reached the reception, we were kindly greeted. Since we had opted for the commemorative photo, the photographer took our pictures. While we listened to the music leaking from the venue, we excitedly rushed to open the door to the second-floor seating area, where the actor playing Elvis Presley was performing with singing and dancing. I was already in a great mood and sat in the empty seats at the back! (You can see perfectly well from the back of the second floor!) The person playing Michael Jackson was also incredibly cool with both his singing and dancing. I was deeply moved to see the hula, which is a traditional Hawaiian dance, as well as the fire performances. During the final photo session with the actors, they happily obliged for autographs, and it was amazing to take pictures with Elvis and Michael! The actors looked just like them, haha. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

少し遅刻してしまい、ロックフラの会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンターまで夫と二人駆け足でいき、時間10分くらい過ぎてしまったのですがなんとか到着し、受付にくるとすぐに親切に声をかけてくださり、記念写真のオプションもつけていたので、カメラマンさんに撮影していただき、会場からの音漏れを聞きながらワクワク急いで二階席の会場の扉をあけるとエルヴィスプレスリー役の役者さんが歌とダンスでパフォーマンスしていて、もう気分はルンルンで後ろのすいてる席に座りました♪(二階席後ろでも全然よく見えます！マイケルジャクソン役の方も、歌もダンスもすごくカッコよくて、フラはハワイの伝統的なダンスやファイヤーのパフォーマンスも観れて大感動でした。最後の役者さんとの記念撮影の時はサインも快く応じてくだり、エルヴィスとマイケルと写真を撮れるなんて最高でした！！役者さんそっくりです笑
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

Our guides were super entertaining and helpful.
Some outstanding, picturesque views from the sail! Very nice experience!

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!

The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.

My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.

受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、
味も美味しくデザートまで楽しめました！

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

両親がドンピシャ世代で昔良く聞いていたので今度は連れて行ってあげたいなと思っています。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.

席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

This is my second time participating. There are emotions that you can't feel on a large ship, like the sea and the wind. The sunset was a touching moment. It's better to have something to wear over your shoulders.

2回目の参加になります。
海や風など大きな船では感じられない感動がありますね。サンセットは感動のひとときでした。
羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。

On our honeymoon, we wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii on our first day, so we participated in this show!

First, we were excited to receive leis around our necks! When we sat at our table, there were two other Japanese couples already there.

As soon as we sat down, a woman with a ukulele appeared, inserting a $10 bill into her instrument. After playing a couple of songs, she immediately asked, "Do you know tip?" which, while feeling somewhat American, was a bit of a letdown. I wondered how much tip we would be expected to pay before even eating (laughs). The other Japanese couples at the same table seemed a bit taken aback.

After that, we enjoyed our meal while watching hula dancing. The food and the dance were not bad, but I felt that we shouldn't expect the same level of hospitality as in Japan.

The following show was of very high quality and quite lively. The dancers all looked like they were having fun, and it was really enjoyable to watch.

At the end, I got a photo and autograph from Michael. This was a nice keepsake!

I think once is enough for this experience, but since the location is good, participating in the show just to feel the Hawaiian vibe might be worth it!

ハネムーン、着いた初日にハワイらしさを味わいたく、このショーに参加しました！
まずはレイを首にかけて貰ってテンションアップ！テーブルに着席すると同じく日本人カップルがもう2組いました。
着席するやいなや、ウクレレを持ったおばさんがウクレレに10ドル紙幣を挟み登場。2曲ほど弾いたあとに、Do you know tip〜? とすかさず聞いてきて、ある意味アメリカらしさを感じつつも興醒めしました。ご飯を食べる前からこれか、一体いくらチップを払わされるんだろう…と(笑) 同テーブルの日本人カップルは若干みんな引き気味でした。

その後はフラダンスを観ながらご飯を食べました。ダンスもご飯も悪くはありませんが、日本ほどのホスピタリティを求めて行ってはいけないかなと感じました。

その後のショーはとてもクオリティも高く、盛り上がりました。ダンサーさん達もみんな楽しそうに踊っていて、観ていてとても楽しかったです。

最後にマイケルに写真とサインをしてもらいました。これは良い記念になりました！

1度行けばもういいかなと思いますが、まぁ立地も良いですしハワイらしさを感じるにはとりあえずショーだけ参加するのはありかもね！と思います。

The package was exactly as described online. The meet up spot was very easy to find. The boat provided amazing views of the fireworks with fun music. The entire experience was about an hour and the workers on the boat were awesome. Drinks were also included, but honestly I did not find them to taste that great. Otherwise, this package was absolutely worth the money and I would definitely do it again!

The location was great, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The shows featuring not only hula dancers but also singers impersonating Elvis and Michael Jackson were very impressive. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the exchanges in English between the performers and the audience. It seemed that the American tourists from the mainland enjoyed it even more.

立地が良いので、買い物や食事に合わせて利用できた。フラのみならずプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮した歌手によるショーは見ごたえ充分。残念なのは、タレントと観客との英語による応酬がこちらに分からなかったこと。本土から来た米人観光客たちは、一層楽しんだようだった。

My friends and I all went together (ages 21-23) and had the best time! The crew on board was so lively, and fun. The music also kept us dancing the whole time

It took about 30 minutes from the time we sat down for our meal and received our drinks until we went to the buffet. The roast beef at the buffet was delicious. The show was so enjoyable that I was completely captivated. I experienced a lot during this trip, but this was my favorite.

食事の席に着いてドリンクが来てからビュッフェを取りに行くまでの時間が30分ほどありました。ビュッフェはローストビーフが美味しかったです。ショーは全てが見入ってしまう程楽しかったです。この旅で色々体験しましたが一番お気に入りでした。

Cruising while listening to upbeat Western music like reggae is the best! Since 90% of the people are foreigners, the atmosphere is very cheerful and different from cruising in Japan. I go on board every time I come to Hawaii.

レゲエなどノリの良い洋楽を聞きながらのクルージングは最高ですね。9割が外国の方であるせいか、日本でのクルージングとは異なりとても陽気で雰囲気は最高です。
ハワイに来ると毎回乗船しています。

I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!

あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです！家族も楽しんでおりました！
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです！

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

This was such a great time and the crew was amazing. We got to see the most beautiful sunset on the ocean while listening to the best music. This was our first girls trip to Hawaii and I would highly recommend Holokai Catamaran.
Note...dont recommend sitting on the floor close to the front unless your okay with topping your drink off with saltwater...lol. The entertainment, to the drinks, to the beautiful view....5 big s!!

Awesome trip! Staff was great and would highly recommend!

The level of dancing was high, and even the children who didn't know the era enjoyed it. The adults had a great time in a tipsy mood after dinner.

踊りのレベルが高く、時代を知らない子供達も楽しんでいました。大人はディナーの後のほろ酔い気分で最高でした。

The show was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the waiting time from check-in to being seated and the quality of the food.

ショーは素晴らしかったですが、チェックインタイムから着席までの待ち時間と料理の質にゲンナリしました。

I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but about 80% of the group was non-Japanese. With so many people, I expected the buffet to be more crowded, but everyone maintained order, and we were able to enjoy our meal without chaos. The taste was average, but since it's a buffet, the portions were generous, and the two included drinks made it feel like a good deal.

The show is recommended for those who might get bored with just hula, as well as fans of Elvis and Michael Jackson. While the impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson don't go beyond imitation, the stage is luxurious, the sound quality is good, and they perform classic hit songs, so I think you'll enjoy it. The hula performance was impressive from the VIP seats. Please see the photos. You can take pictures freely without flash (video and recording are not allowed).

Here are some points to note: The reception staff can speak Japanese, but once you enter the dining area, it's in English. The meal is outdoors, while the show is indoors with air conditioning, so it's advisable to bring a jacket. The show ends after 9 PM, and there are no trolleys for the return; you'll need to walk, take a taxi, or use The BUS if you're able. For those staying nearby, it shouldn't be a problem.

Overall, it's a comfortable evening event.

参加者は日本人が多いかと思ったら、8割くらいが日本人以外の団体でした
。人数が多く、ビュッフェがもっと混雑するかと思いましたが、皆さん秩序を守っていて、混乱なく食事をとることができました。味は、まあ普通ですが、ビュッフェなのでボリューム満点で、ドリンクも2杯ついてくるのでお得感はあります。
ショーは、フラだけだと飽きてしまう人、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのファンの人にお勧めです。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンは物真似の域を出ないですが、舞台が豪華で音響もよく、定番のヒット曲を披露するので、楽しめると思います。フラも、VIP席でしたので迫力がありました。写真をご覧ください。フラッシュなしなら、自由に撮影できます。（ビデオ、録音は不可）
以下、注意点です。受付の人は、日本語大丈夫ですが、食事会場に入った後は英語です。食事は屋外、ショは屋内で冷房が効いていますから、上着持参が望ましいです。ショーの終了は9時過ぎですので、帰りは、トロリーはなく、徒歩、タクシー、使える人はThe　BUSになります。ホテルが近い人は問題ありませんが。
全体に、快適に過ごせる夜のイベントです。

The views you get from the Cruise are amazing, however some of the staff came off rude when trying to guide passengers on what direction to go, our dinner had a lot of people getting seasick.
